The first half of 2021 has been the busiest year on record for the housing market, it has been revealed.
The frenzied market activity has helped to push up the average asking price of a newly-listed property to a new record for the fourth consecutive month, according to Rightmove.
The average asking price has climbed £21,389 higher in just six months to £338,447, according to the property listing website s index.
Rightmove s Tim Bannister said: We predict that the number of completed sales will be the highest ever seen in a single month when June s data is released by HMRC. This means it s likely that the first half of 2021 has seen a record number of moves when compared with the first six months of any other year, induced by the pandemic s side-effect of a new focus on what a home needs to provide.
